Hi and sorry for my first post being a question. I'm a student of Computer Engineering and I've had to do a lot of these problems in previous classes. I'm a little rusty on them, and was never all that good to begin with..but I'm pretty sure there is a typo in this question and was hoping someone could confirm.
Prove the identity of this equation by using algebraic manipulation.
ABC' + BC'D' + BC + C'D = B + C'D
The reason for my belief is that...well, like I said I'm not very good at this but I'm pretty sure there's no conceivable way to actually cancel out that A in the first term. That and, I googled the exact question and searched for it here, both returning results of the exact same question, only with the third term containing an A'.
Just looking for some confirmation on this, but I do have another problem that's been driving me a little nuts too and is definitely solvable.
AD' + A'B + C'D + B'C = (A' + B' + C' + D') ( A + B + C + D)
I started to use DeMorgan's theorem but that didn't get me very far...this is starred as an extra hard problem in my text so either it is, or just the idea of it being one has got me discouraged
Thanks for looking =]. And for future reference, should I put this in homework help next time?
